Andriasa mitchelli is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Malawi.

The length of the forewings is 34.8–35.2 mm for males. It is similar to Andriasa contraria contraria, but larger and differing in the more extensive dark brown subapical patch on the costa of the forewing upperside and the white midtibiae and hindtibiae. The forewings are longer and the outer margin is more convex.[1]
